Unfortunately, I just learned that a very respected member of this forum, hammer630, has recently passed away. He apparently passed in his sleep. Hammer630 was a great contributor to the forum, and friend to all of us. We will miss him.

For several months I have been working on a problem with my 2000 Sportsman 500. The machine, after working on the clutches & rebuilding the front end, last fall, suddenly, after 10 minutes of running, refused to rev up above 1/3 throttle. After multiple posting’s and suggestions, this is what I have done. New carburetor, checked for worn cam, [perfect]. Did a compression and leak down test. Found a problem with worn valves thereby low compression. Purchased new intake valves, and had the seats ground, and valves hand lapped by reputable shop. No change. Removed flywheel, and checked for timing plate, stator coil shift. It’s OK. Finally, purchased a new coil wire & boot, & CDI box, figuring that it was either not advancing timing, or just limiting the revs, no change. It’s charging OK, and sparking when the flywheel passes by the pick up coil, to be expected because it starts & runs ok up to about 1/3 throttle. Other observations; it runs worse when the air box is installed without the filter. It starts a little hard but runs OK at 1/3 throttle after starting. Summer’s coming, and I only got about 4 weeks before I leave for the summer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So I just picked up an 09 scrammy 500 4×4 and Ive spent hours looking for aftermarket parts for it and it has been a nightmare. Does anyone know where would be a good place to look? Specifically, I’m looking for bodywork, handlebars, and aluminum wheels with more offset. Thanks fellas!

Hello all. I am new to this forum and new to polaris. I have always ridden hondas. But a few days ago I bought my new sportsman. And so far I love it. I just had one question though. I was out today riding. There was alot of deep puddles as it had just rained And every time I’d hit one it would steam. For about the first ten minutes until the fan kicked in. Then it was minimal steam. For the first 10 minutes it billed steam when I’d hit one. Now, obviously a hot surface plus water equals steam. But I just wanna make sure it’s normal for these fourwheelers and that it’s not getting too hot. my hondas were always air cooled and they steamed too. Just not nearly as bad.
